please note my above post. I’ve been tracking my performance since 2008 and I have returned north of 20% on an annualized basis. 2020 has definitely accounted for a decent amount of that, perhaps 2-3%.

As for options in 2020, long calls have been the star, but as I said above those are the riskiest ones. For selling premium, which is the longevity play, 2020 hasn’t been great as volatility has been surprisingly low.

For international Net Nets I'm focused on Japan and use kenkyoinvesting.com's free screener to identify and KaijiNet/JapanExpress evaluate the Balance sheet and cashflow statements.

will explore. I assume these companies have no options or if they do, they’re illiquid?

Which market? Oh you mean the US market. You know there is a whole lot more to the Global equities market than just the US right? :)

We'll see, after the P-demic. I believe that is global.

Exactly. Almost entirely microcaps, nanocaps, illiquid and dark companies.

The S&P has returned north of 20% per year since 2008...

I'm not as optimistic as you guys, I still have my ration card from WW2. (My parents stole all my meat coupons, all I had left was veggie tickets.)

20% compounded annually? Don't have the numbers in front of me but I don't think so

this is not a correct statement. Start here and play with the numbers. https://dqydj.com/sp-500-return-calculator/

12.5% since November 2008
14.75% if you reinvested dividends

dont use my link as your sole source; dig in elsewhere and find if your research jives with this. I always run my annualized returns against VFINX which matches very closely to the above link.

Correct, I wasn’t compounding annually. I didn’t know if either of you were in your calculations.

The S&P opened 2009 at 931.80. It closed today at 3647.49. That’s 23% average return per year on a year-by-year basis, not compounding. Are you saying you took the same 931.80 in 2008 and have turned it into 8,300+?
